Which type of routers exchange VPNv4 routes?

  • P router
  • P and PE routers
  • PE router
  • CE router

Explanation: In an MPLS L3 VPN architecture, PE routers are the only devices that exchange VPNv4/VPNv6 routes. They do so via MP-IBGP sessions with other PE routers. P routers (provider core routers) do not carry VPN routes and only maintain reachability for the core provider network via an IGP. CE routers only handle standard IPv4/IPv6 prefixes.
